At least six of the 12 credits must be obtained in courses within the core topic area. Of the six credits from the core area, at least two credit hours must be obtained within the ethics topic area. The remainder of the credits can be obtained by taking courses in the core, ethics or elective topic areas. For the complete New Jersey continuing education requirements, please refer to the Notice of Proposal and the Notice of Adoption, which must be read together to see the complete rules as adopted. For additional information, please refer to the New Jersey Real Estate Commission’s Frequently Asked Questions on Continuing Education.

A: If your local board/association is participating in NJ Realtors® ACE, you will see all of the classes they are hosting in the course catalog by clicking ‘Course Registration.’ If your local board/association does not participate in NJ Realtors® ACE, you will only see courses offered by NJ Realtors® and would need to contact your local board/association directly or visit their website for a list of available courses. You may also check the NJ Realtors® calendar for a list of local board/association events.

A: NJ Realtors® offers online courses for $10.50 each. Cost of live, in-person classes are set by the class provider and will vary. In addition, NJ Realtors® offers three free courses, which can all be found under the course catalog:

Avoiding the Unauthorized Practice of Law (C20160450)

Complying with the Fair Housing Act (C20160453)

Realtor® Code of Ethics (C20160494); This course also satisfies your mandatory requirement with the National Association of Realtors®

A: Most online courses have quizzes at the unit level. The unit quizzes are all geared to teach mastery of the material, so you may take them as many times as needed in order to achieve a passing score. For the Realtor® Code of Ethics Course, you will need to pass the required final exam with a minimum score of 76. You will have multiple chances to review the course material in order to take and pass the exam.

A: Certificates of completion will be available for all classes you have taken on NJ Realtors® ACE, at the Realtors® Triple Play Convention and Trade Expo, or at your local board/association (if they participate with NJ Realtors® ACE). From your NJ Realtors® ACE account homepage, click on your name, found in the upper right-hand corner, and from the menu click on ‘My Certificates.’

A: Our online courses are timed to ensure that you have spent a minimum amount of time in the course, as mandated by the New Jersey Real Estate Commission. Only when the timer at the bottom of the page reaches zero, will you be able to click ‘Next’ and continue with the course.

A: PSI Exams is the New Jersey Real Estate Commission’s online CE tracking system. In addition to tracking all of your CE credits, including those taken on NJ Realtors® ACE, you can also search for approved providers and courses.

A: Normally credits are reported to PSI several times per week. Due to the volume of credits to be verified and reported for the Realtor® Triple Play Convention & Trade Expo, it may take several weeks following the convention for all credits to be reported to PSI.

A: It may take two to four business days after NJ Realtors® has reported your credits for them to be posted to your PSI account. If after waiting this time, your credits still do not appear, please contact us at info@njrealtorsace.com.
